Good evening everyone

Below this message you will find individual tee times, pairings, yardages and player flight/group info for the final day of play of this competition. We will commence play at 12 PM on hole number 1 of The Kings Course at Kingsridge GC tomorrow.

It is important that once again all players check in on arrival with Fiona at our Golfer Registration Area. Check in will be open from 10 am. If any tee time or pairing changes are necessary, we will communicate these to you at that point. Range balls for warm up will be laid out and practice information will also be issued to players at check-in.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING GOLF CART RENTALS: On this occasion a golf cart has been included in the entry fee cost for each player. Please note that we have been working with the venue to ensure enough carts are available FOR PLAYERS ONLY who require them. Additional spectator carts MAY be available later, but these can only be allocated to spectators after players receive their carts. The procedure for issuing carts will be advised at check in and it is likely they will be issued to players in tee time order. Please do not take a golf cart from the staging area at the venue until advised to do so. Please do NOT pay the venue for any player cart as this may not be refunded to you immediately. At the end of each day of play please empty and return your cart to the cart staff as quickly as possible.

Please note caddies are only permitted at our tour events for players aged 15 or less. Caddies for aged 16+ players are not permissible at any of our tournaments. Caddies must observe USGA caddie rules at all times and pace of play MUST be observed. If your group falls behind play, we will request you play “Ready Golf” in order to keep pace with the group in front. If after doing so you are still behind play we will give you a target time to complete the following two holes. If target time is not achieved, we will issue penalty strokes to any member(s) playing in your group that are causing delay. Electronic devices to assist with yardages are also acceptable for use at this competition.

IMPORTANT SCORING NOTES:

Official scoring for this tournament will only be accepted by inputting scores into our dedicated online scoring app, CJGT. Please make your way to the 1st tee 10 minutes before your scheduled tee time Before play we will again request that you keep a personal paper scorecard record which can be used as a reference/backup should any discrepancies or errors be made in the app.

On Sunday following play we will have a brief awards presentation ceremony. We always try to conduct these presentations as quickly as we can to ensure you are not waiting around too much. If you can attend, we do always appreciate your sportsmanship and support of your fellow players.

Player Awards summary: A Claret Tour Medal Award will be made to each of our lowest scoring Flight Winners. We will also award a maximum of up to 4 FJT STEP Exemptions to the player flight winner in each of our 13/15 and 16+ age groups (BOYS x 2 Awards Maximum and Girls x 2 Awards Maximum.) Please read the following important information relating to the award of FSGA/STEP Exemption Awards for this tournament.

FSGA/FJT STEP Exemption Awards for participation in future FJT Events.

In 2024 we will offer STEP Exemption awards to our lowest scoring players, both boys and girls, in the age groups 13-15 and 16+ at all of our 36 Hole tournament events. In addition, we will also offer one FJT STEP Exemption Award to our lowest scoring Boy AND to our lowest scoring Girl at each of our 18 Hole tournaments.  These awards will only be made if the winning player scores a +8 score or below on each 18 holes played in the tournament. If the winning player scores more than a +8 we will only consider awarding a STEP Exemption if the player already has an overall scoring average of 80 or less in either the iWanamaker or JGS rankings records. Scoring average will be calculated over the 12 months preceding the event they are receiving the award for. These events will be advertised with the STEP Exemption symbol alongside them.
